Taking Life One Scoop at a Time

Posts Tagged ‘Geek’

Hi everyone! This is a podcast I did with my friends. It’s a geek oriented podcast where we talk about what things we’re excited about when it comes to comics, books, movies, and television. It’s our inaugural podcast and we’re very excited to interact with our viewers. So if you have time, give it a chance and hopefully we’ll be on itunes soon so you can carry us wherever we go!

Feel free to drop comments in either the Youtube or this comment section. Thanks so much everyone!

Community is a show for geeks. No, not in the same way Big Bang Theory is for geeks, where obvious and overplayed stereotypes are the jokes [my dislike for CBS knows no bounds], but in a clever, cool-geek-chic type of way. They do parodies of gangster films, had an entire episode dedicated to being a video game, and constantly refer to tons of movie and other television culture. Here’s a list of some of the more geekier moments.

So, in this fancy little infographic I found, you can see that there are a multitude of levels to the geek hierarchy, and though none of them may be the ‘best’ or the ‘coolest’, it’s always interesting to see how people view the sci-fi loving, techno-babble culture that is geek. A lot of the graphics here are misunderstood and rather cliche looks at some forms of geek, with Star Wars fans not always at odds with Star Trek fans or Gadget Geeks ever going camping, but I suppose those are more for giggles than anything else. I found the Internet Geek graphic to be more true to life than anything else on the picture, but that’s only because I see it far too often visiting a site like Reddit or 4Chan. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this rather interesting take on the internet subcultures and how you may or may not fit into the pie chart.
